Rooting isn't even necessary... see my post from the first page, which I will conveniently quote below. You can use ConnectBot or Terminal Emulator for this, both of which are free on the Market.

If you have a young kid, try Toddler Lock. When you press the screen different shapes and colours (maybe sounds) pop up. Its clever because they can't back out by pressing home, you have to exit via menu :)

Hey everyone, I realize this thread is VERY common but I have a good question. I have a line that I upgraded in March and received $60 off my bill. I DID NOT use the phone upgrade though.

Is there a way to change the stock theme on the D2G or at least change the color of the status bar without having to flash a new rom like Fission?
[Droid 2 Global Themes and Apps] rusty815:
well if you want to be able to get OTA updates, then no there isnt, because in order to install themes you need to deodex the rom your on, and deodexing the rom means you cant install the updates, so if you want custom themes the best thing to do is install a custom rom, i want to be able to get OTA updates so i havent themed my rom, and i froze all the bloatware to reinstall once an update comes
[Droid 2 Global Themes and Apps] hgrimberg:
But if you install a custom rom, then you dont get the ota updates, right? Unless you install a new updated rom, right?

Thank you,
[Droid 2 Global Themes and Apps] rusty815:
yup, cant get OTA updates on a custom rom :/ i suggest that if you want to stay with the stock rom, just freeze the bloatware you dont need like i did and install a new custom launcher off the market

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lakehousetech:
Viewpad 7a 'Enhanced' (RC1)

Viewpad 7a is a quick and dirty modification of the stock firmware from Viewsonic. This should be a decent alternative to the stock image, with improved performance and appearance.

Highlights:

- Removed the 'Welcome' logo and replaced with stock android boot animation.

- Replaced stock boot image with overclocked version: Credit goes to TJ Style @ Modaco.

- Minor framework modifications (got rid of annoying white status bar, and misc images).

- All packaged applications remain, but I will add or remove any upon request.

- Enabled hardware acceleration.

Notes:

- Firmware should work with compatible devices such as: Cherry Mobile Superion, Commtiva Linx N700, Olivepad VT-100, Spice MI700, and Camangi FM600....but I do not have these devices, so I cannot verify. As always make a backup before installing any custom firmwares.

Known Issues:

- You may receive an error from Swype upon initial use to the effect that 'it's not meant for this firmware and may be limited'. I haven't had any issues since seeing this, and have disregarded it for the time being.

- Root condition has been known to intermittently go away. Remedy this by running Super One Click again after you've flashed the ROM.

****************************************************************************************************

I'm currently working on a Vanilla AOSP port of Gingerbread for this device, and this will be the main focus of my effort. I will try my best to answer any bug reports or requests for changes to this firmware, but won't make any promises.

As always a big thanks to everyone in the Android community that shares they're knowledge and support.

To install this firmware use ClockworkMod to flash the zip file. (I use version 2.5.1.2). Information on rooting and installing an alternative recovery partition is available here.

DISCLAIMER:

I cannot be held liable for anything you do to your Viewpad 7 (or equivalent device). Make sure you are comfortable with recovery tools, such as ClockworkMod, before proceeding.

****************************************************************************************************

Update (August 22nd, 2011):

I've deactivated the download link until I get time to put out a better update with ITE support.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] harishgayatri:
If I am not wrong this device is similar to Commtiva N700/ Spice Mi-700/ Olive Pad VT-100.

Nice to hear someone taking the initiative for development on this device:)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lakehousetech:
I've added the compatible devices I'm aware of to the first post. I may take advantage of CM scripting in the Gingerbread port. Will update when I have time. I've attached a screenshot from the froyo firmware below if anyone is interested.

I've been using it for the past two days without any issues. I borrowed a SIM card from a friend today to test the data connectivity and call function. Both work flawlessly. The battery life isn't as good with the CPU overclocked, but it's worth it for the extra boost of performance.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] harishgayatri:
I was planning to get this device with my first salary which is few months from now

BTW, To make things easier you can use Cyanogen 7 which I think is having support for similar hardware.

Can MeeGo 1.2 be ported for this Device?

But I prefer Android with its vanilla looks.

Can LCD density be used with this Tablet? does it work?

Please check that out.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] cyko:
Nice to see someone finally making a custom ROM for this device. Would be nice to have something like HyperDroidGBX for the HD2 using AOSP, Redux, CyanogenMod.... that's one hell of a nice piece of Gingerbread.

Hopefully the Viewpad 7 will get its own sub-forum and your ROM will be the first in it.

Cheers!

Cyko
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] lakehousetech:
I don't know enough about MeeGo to comment, but I imagine it is possible...just not sure how feasible or worthwhile it would be to port it.

Yes LCD density can be modified and it works.

I think if there's enough community interest XDA may create a dedicated forum for these devices. We'll see.

move all the non-essential apps from system to data so they're easily removable.

Actually I can do that myself in a little bit...

Looking forward to Gingerbread!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwanG:
Have my Xoom WiFi pre-ordered and delivery is supposed to be next week. I am coming from a Viewsonic G-Tablet (will still have two of them, just I won't be using) where the ONLY way to make use of them is by rooting and installing a third-party ROM.

With the Xoom, it seems like rooting it is more of an intellectual exercise than something that would make a big difference in day to day use. Is there something I'm missing?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
1) Delete the crap you don't want

2) Overclock

3) Titanium backup

4) Usb Hosting

5) One day custom roms
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwanG:
Anything in particular you are thinking of?

Unless that helps video playback, I doubt I want to run my battery down or possibly overheat the tablet.

I use that on my G-Tablet because I can't be sure the market will be stable from one refresh to the next. But is there a real need for it on the Xoom?

Nothing that ES File Manager and a Network drive won't take care of, but point taken :)

Given Google's announcement about the HC stuff not being released anytime soon, I wouldn't be holding my breath on that.

So basically, the same reasons I might want to do it on my Nexus One. But it's not like the G-Tablet where I'm going to go from hardly acceptable to Notebook replacement is what I'm hearing.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psychokitty:
I don't recommend deleting the stock browser, and here is why;

I have a rooted Droid running UD 7.0. It's set up with Sweeter Home, etc,just the way I like it.

When Google Gesture Search came out, I spent days trying to figure out why I couldn't get it to work. I found out by trial & error (and a LOT of restoring ROMs!) that it was because I had deleted the stock browser in favor of Dolphin.

-Prob'ly nuttin, but because of all the unknowns, I expect I'll keep the stock basics until I can do a systematic, controlled delete. Just my 2 sense, err, cents.:)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diaa08:
dude, on the xoom, how much space do you need? the browser is what 8meg, max? i use other browsers too, just would never delete the stock browser, to each their own. :)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steady Hawkin:
Agreed.

Not to mention its worth it for the overclock alone. I have not noticed a change in battery life, and in terms of heat the dual core runs around 90 tops under heavy use.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
These threads are useless, this Guy has a rooted device and knows what functions root already does. Why is he asking us what we will do with it when he already knows. Someone says removed crapware, then he gives an argument. Someone says overclock or custom then he gives another argument. C'mon man you already know what root brings, just determine if you need it or not because everyone's needs and wants are different.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwanG:
Just to clarify, I have a couple of rooted Viewsonic G-Tablets. I haven't rooted my Xoom yet because:

A) I haven't got it yet (3/29 according to UPS)

B) It looks like it's a more complicated procedure at this point since there isn't native SD Card support

So I was trying to decide whether rooting was necessary (which it very much is on the G-Tablets), or just something desirable. And in the latter case, if there's something that would let me do that I would really miss.

At this point it sounds like there are three things I give up by not rooting, and the only one of those I don't have an acceptable workaround for is the overclocking. But I didn't want to hijack my own thread by starting a discussion on that, and so have been following the thread about OC instead.

FWIW...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myv6mustang:
Only reason I rooted my xoom was for the ability to play movies stutter free directly from my net shares...other than that no other reason...doesn't need to be overclocked and not really in to the custom rom game.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipper2006:
I had a Viewsonic on Saturday (returning it monday) and i tried all the custom roms, but the main issue is the terrible display, i found not only do you need hold it in front of you, it still wasnt perfect until you held it on a weird angle. Even for 339.00 it's not worth it. I liked the USB port on it but it's ready to go back to the store tommorow. The Xoom screen is much much better (I had them both next to each other all day trying to justify). Heck, i might bring both back and just keep my Nook Color.. Time will tell... Battery life with the Tiamat kernal was about 9 hours but i started it at 72%.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
I am having the same thoughts myself.

I jailbroke all my iphones, I've rooted all my android devices, but, for some reason, I am not anxious to root the xoom

I think once sd card support comes, and, when there are MORE rom/kernel choices, it might be more desirable to do it.

for trouble free viewing of hd videos, just rip with handbrake, or a similar program and watch them with Vital player..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elvis_Freshly:
U do know that is system space and you cant access it, right? thats not good and can cause the system to become unstable. Its space you will never see or be able to use so leave it. Get an app that hides apps from your tray and your problem solved ina safe manner..but hey, to each his own.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elvis_Freshly:
I couldnt agree more. I use handbrake for ripping also and I also don't see any current use in rooting a Xoom. Movies play crystal clear..Battery life is 9hours..

I just think some people are never satisfied..lol..like we're spoiled brats.

Im interested in the process but people are tweaking and reaching like this beast of a tablet isnt dual core and on the lastest version of android.

This is a Xoom and not a G1..lol...Not yelling..just made a point that we are never content until we brake some ****.

Google doesnt want the OEM using and skinning their **** anymore..atleast without that licensing/kiss our Google,rich ass Fee..so they probably wont release Honeycomb until 2012 I hear anyway.

So in theory u guys are holding your breath for a Dragons fart.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_am_the_one:
i rooted mine specificallyfor adfree. I have noticed a big improvment in browser speed. And now that we have sdcard support that is also a good reason
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Algus Helm:
So the overall performance will remain the same.

The only need for root is to "manage" the native apps and use the SD card. No gain for videos or game experience?

I think I'll pass the rooting for now... maybe when custom roms be avaiable.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyRCode:
I think the ability to use the MicroSD card slot and USB hosting are pretty good reasons to root.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patass:
with the overclock available on the root, I can play FPSE (the psone emulator) at full screen over HDMI with a wii controller. Also, if there are some videos that stutter overclocking will help them if you use mobo player.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored369:
rootedMyXoom

Not really a reason to, but they have a semi-one-click App to Root and restore to factory on the forums (search for "Xoom One-Click Root/Unroot") works really well and you can use rom manager to install clockworkMod recovery and the latest tiamat kernel through cwmRecovery

Works really well on my 3gXoom, I think they are still working with the wifi and not sure if that can return to factory just yet since they just recently released images for stock

I was hesitant but sdcard and usbHost support helped me decide, but really I think it was disabling the annoying camera shutter sound that made it really worth it; of course ad-free, auto-mem-man, nandroid backups, setCpu (oc 1.5), and cache-cleaner have all been used as well since and it all runs as great as it did before I rooted

As for roms hc is awesome, a new launcher would be nice (vtl.launcher is really sweet but still very much beta) but roms will come in the future, too nice a piece of hardware for me to think it won't some day run android 4 or maybe even 5 but I,d be satisfied with whatever the cyanogen team comes up with and they can take as much time as they want to work on it
